The number of individual species of insects so far known is over a million and each of these species numbers into millions even billions of individuals. Doubtless, insects are harmful to us in one way or another but the benefits they offer in so many visible and invisible ways are also great that they cannot be assessed in terms of money. One radical quote on insects reads “If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago; if insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos” – Edward O. Wilson. Man’s future on this earth may very well depend on how well we understand the insect world – how well we fight our insect enemies and protect ourselves against them- how well we protect our insect friends. A study of the insects which are variously related to the welfare of mankind is referred to as economic entomology. Such studies are usually made with reference to the habits and habitats of the insect species. Insects are generally classified into three convenient groups from the point of view of the economic nature, namely harmless, harmful and beneficial insects. This classification, however, is not a rigid one and is often subject to alterations depending on conditions. Certain insects which are considered not harmful may under some other favourable conditions become serious pests and vice versa. The scope of the present course is not the study on how many ways insects are beneficial to us but on how many ways they are harmful to us particularly as pests of crops and stored grain. In this section, different ways in which insect pests are harmful to us are classified. 1. Destroying crops and valuable plants: Insects destroy all kinds of growing crops and other valuable plants by feeding on leaves, stem, bark, roots, buds, flowers and fruits. They also bore or tunnel into shoots, stems, roots and fruits feeding on internal contents. Insects are known to cause cancerous growth/ galls within which they live and feed. They cut and carry parts of plants for construction of nests or shelters. Many species of insects are reported as vectors disseminating microorganisms of plant diseases, namely, viruses, bacteria, fungi etc. 2. Annoying and injuring man and animals: There are several ways in which insects annoy and injure man and animals, both domesticated and wild. Droning, humming and buzzing they produce is annoying to everyone. The foul odour they emit, offensive taste of their secretions/excretions they leave on fruits, food and dishes cause suffering. Pinching and causing painful disfiguring blisters on any part of the body, they may come in contact with. Accidental entry into the eyes, ears, nostrils or alimentary canal causes myiasis, a painful muscle damage. 3. Injecting venoms:

E. abdominalis and E. xanthocephalus are widely distributed in the Oriental region and its neighbouring areas, however E. nigronota- tus is endemic to the Oriental region. Most of the specimens were collected in light traps, and thus the species are presumed to be nocturnal. Introduction (SMZ1500, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) was used for morphological observation.

Приведен аннотированный список 177 видов надсемейства Cerambycoidae, отмеченных в Уссурийском заповеднике и сопредельных территориях. Представлены сведения о распространении редких видов (Callipogon relictus и Rosalia coelestis) на территории заповедника. Beetles of the superfamily Cerambyсoidae are among the best-studied insect groups. The superfamily currently consists of 4 families: Disteniidae Thomson, 1860, Cerambycidae Latreille, 1802, Oxypeltidae Lacordaire, 1869, and Vesperidae Mulsant, 1839. The increased interest in these insects is mostly due to their unique appearance and size. The fauna of longicorn beetles of the Russian Far East started to be actively studied in the 1920s, after the researchers of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences had visited the southern part of this region and obtained a large sample collection. The first paper by T.P. Samoilov (1936) was based on the results of this and the previously made collection and focused on the faunistic-ecological characterization of the fauna of longicorn beetles of the southern Primorskii krai.

  • Crambidae Biosecurity Occurrence Background Subfamilies Short Description Diagnosis
    Diaphania nitidalis Chilo infuscatellus Crambidae Webworms, Grass Moths, Shoot Borers Biosecurity BIOSECURITY ALERT This Family is of Biosecurity Concern Occurrence This family occurs in Australia. Background The Crambidae is a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of moths that currently comprises 11,500 species globally, with at least half that number again undescribed. The Crambidae and the Pyralidae constitute the superfamily Pyraloidea. Crambid larvae are concealed feeders with a great diversity in feeding habits, shelter building and hosts, such as: leaf rollers, shoot borers, grass borers, leaf webbers, moss feeders, root feeders that shelter in soil tunnels, and solely aquatic life habits. Many species are economically important pests in crops and stored food products. Subfamilies Until recently, the Crambidae was treated as a subfamily under the Pyralidae (snout moths or grass moths). Now they form the superfamily Pyraloidea with the Pyralidae. The Crambidae currently consists of the following 14 subfamilies: Acentropinae Crambinae Cybalomiinae Glaphyriinae Heliothelinae Lathrotelinae Linostinae Midilinae Musotiminae Odontiinae Pyraustinae Schoenobiinae Scopariinae Spilomelinae Short Description Crambid caterpillars are generally cylindrical, with a semiprognathous head and only primary setae (Fig 1). They are often plainly coloured (Fig. 16, Fig. 19), but can be patterned with longitudinal stripes and pinacula that may give them a spotted appearance (Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 14, Fig. 22). Prolegs may be reduced in borers (Fig. 16). More detailed descriptions are provided below. This factsheet presents, firstly, diagnostic features for the Pyraloidea (Pyralidae and Crambidae) and then the Crambidae. Information and diagnostic features are then provided for crambids listed as priority biosecurity threats for northern Australia.

ROBERT A. WHARTON Department of Entomology, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843 USA; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Collections of fruits from indigenous species of Oleaceae were made in Kenya between 1999 and 2003. Members of the four Kenyan genera were sampled in coastal and highland forest habitats, and at altitudes from sea level to 2979 m. Schrebera alata, whose fruit is a woody capsule, produced Lepidoptera only, as did the fleshy fruits of Jasminum species. Tephritid fruit flies were reared only from fruits of the oleaceous subtribe Oleinae, including Olea and Chionanthus. Four tephritid species were reared from Olea. The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, was found exclusively in fruits of O. europaea ssp. cuspidata, a close relative of the commercial olive, Olea europaea ssp. europaea. Olive fly was reared from 90% (n = 21) of samples of this species, on both sides of the Rift Valley and at elevations to 2801 m.

Field experiment was Pigeonpea conducted to inventorize the insect fauna in pigeon pea ecosystem from February 2015 to [Cajanus cajan (L.)], July 2015. A total of 77 different species of insects belonging to 45 families under 10 Ecosystem, Diversity orders were collected. Of the 77 species recorded, 53 species were harmful and 24 were beneficial. The Simpson’s index of Diversity was the highest for beneficial insects (0.94) Article Info and for harmful insects it was (0.93). Similar trend was observed in Shannon-Wiener index Accepted: also for beneficial and harmful insects with values of 3.12 and 3.00, respectively. The 04 July 2018 values of Margalef index for the beneficial and harmful insects revealed that maximum Available Online: richness (6.35) was accounted for harmful insects followed by beneficial insects (5.32). 10 August 2018 The species evenness was maximum for beneficial insects (0.55), whereas for the harmful insects it was (0.45).
